Source: Japan News ("His many experiences with injuries prompted an interest in physical care, and he opened a Japanese-style massage parlor using self-taught techniques. It became so popular that it was constantly filled with reservations.")
ALT1: ... that wrestler Gaku Akazawa qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics after having been unsuccessful in qualifying for the 2012, 2016, and 2020 Olympics? Source: same ("he constantly battled injuries that led to surgery on both shoulders and derailed his bid to make the 2012 London Olympics ... he made the bold decision to venture by himself to Russia to hone his skills in the hotbed of wrestling. But he still came up short in qualifying for the next Olympics ... He was unable to be nationalized in time for the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, but gaining Samoa citizenship in December last year made him eligible for Paris.")
Adequate sourcing: - For ref 1: 出身 is actually hometown, not necessarily where he was born (he could've been born abroad), but ref 5 says born in Tokyo. Sourcing is fine otherwise.
